Adventures in
Entertainment, Technology &
Entrepreneurial Endeavours
edition 005
Hello,
This edition of 'Adventures...' comes to you from the peaceful Surrey Hills countryside, the location of my first forays as a teenage music promoter.
A handful of people at the local village hall quickly became (via a Saturday job at the local record store) several hundred at undercover parties held deep in the forest... it's amazing what a bit of fresh country air can do.
As ever, here are a bunch of articles that have piqued my interest in the last week or two, plus some writing from my own fair hand.
I hope you like it; if you do then tell a friend - they can add themselves to the recipients list right here >
